What to see and do

■ Find the roots of the Great War

WALK along the Latin Bridge and you’ll pass the exact spot where Gavrilo Princip assassinated Franz Ferdinand in 1914 and ignited the Great War.

There’s no monument to the event, so be prepared to recall your favourite lines from Blackadder Goes Forth if you want any added history ‘lessons’.

■ Dig deep at the Tunnel of Hope

IT MAY look like a modest backyard of a suburban home, but underneath lies a tunnel dug by desperate locals during the Nineties conflict, which became the only link between besieged Sarajevo and the outside world.

It’s a fascinating insight into the realities of war and the fortitude of locals (£4.50, tunelspasa.ba).

■ Make time for Tito

THE shadow of Josip Broz Tito, long-time leader of the former Yugoslavia, still hangs long over what is now seven separate nations. Caffe Tito is full of memorabilia and pictures of the marshal.

Sip a Sarajevsko beer in the leafy garden, next to a genuine Yugoslav-era army truck.

■ See Bosnia’s most beautiful building

ITS azure and gold atrium, Islamic style arches and mosaic glass were all but destroyed during the war, but painstaking work has revived the City Hall back to its former majesty.

Reopened in 2014, the exhibitions inside tell the story of the city (tickets 90p, vijecnica.ba).

■ Embrace street life

NOWHERE shows off Sarajevo’s diversity like the main shopping drag.

Spot artisans creating shoes, jewellery, daggers and selling coffee, antique watches and homburg hats in stores unchanged in decades.
